BATTLE OF SHANGSHAK/WW2/MARCH-1944

Shangshak is a generic reference to two villages viz. Shangshak Khullen and Shangshak Phunghon located south of Ukhrul in Ukhrul district, Manipur state, India. The village is about 20 kilometres from Ukhrul via National Highway 150 and the state highway that connects Ukhrul-Kamjong via Shangshak. Shangshak is flanked by Hungpung in the north, Koso in the south, Ramva in the west and Gamnom and Yengtem in the east. The first battle in Indian soil during the Second World War between the Japanese and the allied forces was fought in Shangshak. The battle of Shangshak fought for two weeks from 21 to 26 March 1944 is considered as one of the bloodiest battles of the Second World War. Locally, the residents speak Shangshak.

A most significant battle that had a direct effect on the battles of Imphal and of Kohima

Thank you I knew of ShankShak but never seen it or the memorial very touching.

All honour to these incredibly brave men whose sacrifice imposed a delay on the Japanese advance which later proved to have been a crucial factor in the eventual victory at Kohima and Imphal.
